5.0 star star star star starOne of my favorite doctors ever. He was super relatable, knew about basketball and really connected with me. He also outlined a plan for me based on my goals and made it clear what I would have to do in order to prepare my body for physical activity.

5.0 star star star star starLove Dr. Hicks! I followed him from University of Chicago to Northwestern! He understands my knee issues, takes the time to figure out what is needed to stop the pains & other issues! He knows I’m nervous about getting knee injections, so he makes me laugh, talk about my life to get my mind off of him giving me the injections!
Disclosures
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
